The WW Foodie

When I first started writing on this blog I was attending a weekly Weight Watcher meeting. Soon afterwards, I stopped. I knew the plan so we...

It’s a good job we didn’t travel the 340 miles from York to Tobermory for the sole purpose of sampling the local seafood speciality. We had ...

The Isle of Mull will forever be notable to me as being the first place that I camped as an adult. And also, given the uncomfortable, damp n...

Why are holidays always so short?  Back from a lovely week in Scotland - and a weekend of hiding at home in my pyjamas pretending the outs...

Oh, pizza. How I love it, in all its forms. From the thick, gooey, doughy hunks that make the perfect post-pub takeaway (Domino’s I’m lookin...

…Where will you be? I only ask, because I won’t be around – I’ll be in sunny (or otherwise!) Scotland on holidays and I’m getting a little...

Fortunately, the bright shiny ticker I have installed at the bottom of this blog (for my 30 for 30 challenge) doesn’t move backwards. So, a...

The 1st September always seems to represent a second New Year for me. I suppose it is a throwback from school and college days. Anyway, alth...

I haven’t added a recipe in a while, probably because my cooking has been somewhat desultory. But I’ve resolved to turn over a new leaf. Las...

Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs has been my go-to birthday breakfast for years.  As a young girl, I thought it was the absolute height of s...

*With apologies to Simon and Garfunkle. The last couple of weeks have been slightly odd. We’ve been cat sitting for my parents, who live t...

Ooooh, I’m SO excited today to have been nominated to tell all my tens of thousands of readers (optimistic, moi??) seven things about me. Th...

I'm all for companies trying to make "lighter" versions of things. But this  is just wrong.  A travesty along similar lines ...

I’m just going to come out and say it. I love Masterchef. I mean, I’m not known for my discerning taste in television – just ask poor D wh...

Does two days count as a roll?  Shhhh!  We have to be very quiet...we don't want to scare the mojo!!

Currently D and I have relocated about 20 miles down the road to cat sit for my parents while they are living it up on a round the world tri...

At about half past seven last night (which is usually teatime in our household) I realised that I couldn’t be bothered to wait another hour ...

Well. Day 1 did not go quite according to plan. Maybe the problem was that there was no particular plan to accord to (or something). Fairl...

A good few years ago the great British public were being besieged with pictures of Countdown’s Carol Vorderman looking rather smug and svelt...

D and I are exceptionally fond of pretty much any foodstuff that comes out of the sea and a pretty large proportion of our meals feature fis...

This is a lovely, summery dish - and it involves two of my favourite things - pasta and cheese! I've tweaked the original to cut down o...

Warning - non dieting entry (aka food porn) ahead. So yesterday, D treated me to lunch at one of our absolute favourite restaurants.  I ma...

About eight years ago I decided to jump on the Atkins bandwagon. It was not during a particularly affluent period of my life, but I somehow ...

Apparently, lack of sleep has been linked to obesity. I don’t think that can possibly be true. If it were I would be a size 8 by now. I am...

I feel so much better since writing yesterday’s post, thank you for your kind words. During my recent shrink appointment (and as an aside on...
